Detail
Overview
Thin polyester heat sealing film which is easily pierceable with autosampler needles/ABI® 3730. The seal is suitable for PCR, qPCR and optical applications.
Heat sealing offers a 100% effective method for plate sealing for a complete seal integrity, as well as being quick and cost effective
Our ClearASeal Pierce heat sealing film is an optically clear polyester backed film, forming a pierceable seal to polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene and cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) plates
The optical clarity of this seal enables its use for sealing plates required for imaging use, including fluorescent detection methods such as qPCR and colorimetric assays
Its pierceability renders it useful for automation and for use on needle, capillary and tip based liquid handling systems
It is effective on the ABI®3730 capillary sequencer, removing the need for the use of expensive septa mats
The ClearASeal Pierce forms a complete seal to a plate enabling moderately low and high temperature uses, including PCR when using a pressurized heated lid thermal cycler
It demonstrates a moderate solvent resistance and can be utilized for short term compound storage
This seal is available as sheets, for use with manual and semi-automated sealers, such as our HeatASeal 500 Sealing Machine
Also available in multiple roll formats compatible with specified automated heat sealers, such as our Wasp or Chameleon XT
The Benzoic Acid Detection Kit provides a rapid, simple, sensitive, and reliable test suitable for screening of Benzoic Acid concentration.
Benzoic Acid is a white solid that is an extensively used preservative. Although this preservative prevents or delays nutritional losses due to microbiological, enzymatic or chemical changes of foods during its shelf life there is a suspicion that small amounts of benzene may be formed from benzoic acid in nonalcoholic beverages in the presence of ascorbic acid. Benzoic acid and ascorbic acid are food additives which must be declared on the food. Benzoic acid or E 210 is a preservative which also occurs naturally, for instance, in cranberries. A maximum amount of 150 mg/l benzoic acid may be added to non-alcoholic flavored beverages.
